A night to forget for Brooklyn Cyclones
Six Errors, 11 Unearned Runs Mar Brooklyn’s Return from Break
It was a remembrance of things from the not-so-distant past for the 2014 Brooklyn Cyclones at Staten Island’s Richmond County Bank Ballpark on Wednesday night.
By committing a franchise-record six errors and allowing another team mark of 11 unearned runs, the Baby Bums limped back across the Verrazano Bridge with a humbling 14-4 loss to the arch-rival Yankees.
At this time last month, the Cyclones were mired in a season-high eight-game losing streak that featured a myriad of base-running gaffes, fielding miscues and punch-less offensive performances.
Of course, a 21-9 run that coincided with the arrival of left fielder Michael Conforto, the Mets’ first-round pick in the June MLB Draft, washed away most of the memories from that brutal stretch and launched Brooklyn into the lead position in the New York-Penn League Wild-Card chase.
